1st Runner-Up

2nd Runner-Up

"We wanted to recognise the very personal and individual voice of director Ben Sharrock for his film Pikadero. In a year when the jury viewed a selection of very distinctive and different films his film really stood out."

"While there were many outstanding films in the international competition, Suntan is the title that really resonated with us. Argyris Papadimitropolous's film is a compelling and unflinching portrait of one man's journey from infatuation to desperation, marked out by a truly great performance from its lead actor, Makis Papadimitriou."

"The jury felt there was an exceptionally high quality of films presented in the documentary section this year but, for us, the clear winner was Shadow World. Quite simply, it is an extraordinary film. A particularly powerful, poignant and provocative documentary, this film asked critical questions that continue to resonate. Director Johan Grimonprez and writer Andrew Feinstein pose the essential question: will we be allowed to choose peace over the business of war?"
